Isn't there a certain nearly-defeated group of international terrorists who'd like their little caliphate back? Aren't they a bit strapped for cash right now? Yeah. That'd be literally the worst way. ​ ^(Edit: Well that blew up. So if anyone's wondering, in the real world, they're) [^(not really strapped for cash at all)](https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2019/03/isis-caliphate-money-territory/584911/)^(, and it's going to take years to actually defeat them.)


asafum

I'm really surprised that ISIS isn't higher up. I'd say that's hands down the worst way to spend 10 million...


UbiquitousPanacea

Worse than Plan H? 1. Start a charity to feed the poor, donating much of your own money towards that goal. Lace it with a slow-acting poison that will make them die horribly. 2. Buy a crop duster, fly over the Amazon. The spray is gasoline. Light as much as you can on fire. Do it in several trips. 3. Buy radioactive materials. Dump them in the water supply of highly populated cities. 4. Suicide bomb a UN meeting in a plane.


[deleted]

Wouldnt the gasoline evaporate before you could really light it on fire? Try napalm, its sticky and heavy and it burns for a lot longer than gasoline.

You can make homemade stuff by literally just sticking styrofoam into gasoline and waiting for it to melt


[deleted]

Yes, but there are mixture ratios, and a certain consistency that you want to try to maintain! I actually have no idea. I know its gasoline and styrofoam, probably 1:6 ratio. Mix, pour out the remaining gas, and voila! Dont try at home kids, shit is wicked.

ChicagoFaucet

There is forced-gentrification going on in my neighborhood. It's an old city neighborhood. The average house value is about $65K. My wife wants to move, so she is constantly checking the values of the houses in our zip code. Well, just in the past month, a real estate company started listing properties in our zip code for $250K. I guess some other homeowners noticed this as well, as other independent properties are also suddenly starting to get listed for between $200K and $250K. I'm honestly thinking about doing the same with our house, just in the off-chance that someone actually accepts my $250K price. What's ridiculous is that, in some of these cases, it's just an empty city lot that is being sold. Not even a house. And, I know these houses in my neighborhood. The homeowners aren't even bothering to spruce them up at all for the pictures, or even bothering to take good pictures. It's just like in economics. If you put a price tag of $250K on something, someone will think that it's worth it.


rgkimball

Interest rates are lowered by injecting money into the economy, which allows people to spend more and hopefully sparks inflation. When inflation is too high, central banks raise interest rates to slow it down. It is the point, but they are inverse to each other.

spending it on the lottery and winning back like 50 bucks lol.


[deleted]

Years ago, I worked in a convenience store. One of my regulars had won $300,000.00 on a scratcher. Afterward, he would hit several stores and buy several hundred dollars in tickets, and then sit at Waffle House and scratch them all. My store was the last one on his route, as I was right next door to the said Waffle House. The waitresses said he never tipped. He blew through the whole thing in one year, and tried to bum money off of me for cigarettes. No thanks, dude.


2fly2hyde

I worked in a conveinience store for a week. Selling lottery tickets to poor people who compulsively bought them made me feel like a drug dealer. I figured that if I wanted to feel like that, I would just sell drugs and make more than 10 bucks an hour. I used to think the lottery was a good thing, supporting education and all, but now I can't see it but anything but a tax on poor people. Rich people don't buy lottery tickets, at least not anywhere near the same rate.


[deleted]

This is probably the one time I can name where I was actually convinced to change my opinion based on an Internet argument. I used to support the lottery as a "tax on people who are bad at math." But I came to realize how it's marketed towards the people who can least afford to buy tickets and how destructive it can be, and now I'm anti-lottery.

Sort of reminds me of a joke: A guy and his wife are experiencing hard times and he decides to let her prostitute herself for money. So she goes out and later that night when she gets home, he asks, "So how much did you get?" She tells him, "$900.25!" Puzzled, he says, "Who's the jerk who gave you a quarter?" To which she replies, "All of them."

Punconscious

There was a dude who won something like 60 million pounds and blew it all over a few years on cocaine and hooker parties. He was quoted as saying something like, “ I spent most of my money on hookers and blow and the rest I wasted.”


Harambeeb

How do you spend 60 million pounds on hookers and blow in a lifetime, not to mention a few years? He must have shared the blow with people he didn't fuck, like a noob. Should have just founded his own coca plantation instead, hookers are also cheap unless he went for exclusively western ones and paid extra for rawdog.


Punconscious

I think he bought a mansion to host the parties as well.


Harambeeb

Unless he burned it down, property is an investment, he would get some of that back if he sold it. Is this the dude who bought Ferrari's to drive around in his back yard like bumper cars? I heard that story and thought it was money well spent, should just have left some to retire on.

Spending it all on Xbox live 1 year subscriptions, you will probably only use 2000$ worth at most of that 10 mill you spent


LetTheSushiRoll

Well, rounding Xbox Live subs to $60/year, and dividing into $2,000 gives us 33.33(repeating). So, roughly 33 years of Xbox live, and if you started gaming at about 15, which is a reasonable estimate imo, you're talking 47 years old at the time of death. That'd be a bit of bad news, dying so young, but there *is* some good news. If you truly spent it *all* on Live cards and they never expire(idk if they do or not), you'd have 166,666(also repeating), years of Live subscription. Taking the average human life span off Google(79 years), and dividing that means you'd be able to provide Live for a total of ~2,109 people with what's left over. Assuming you take one off for yourself, roughly 2,108, but I'm done with math for now.

Partying. With $10m to spend partying, you're going to develop some fairly severe vices. Quite probably some expensive addictions.

I'm not saying don't party, but I am saying spending $10m on partying would absolutely ruin your life unless you were actually earning enough to throw those sorts of events.

I just felt bad she would work and end up with very bad pain in her feet and back from walking 10 hours a day. She never listen to me and the car ended up being totaled. So now she is taking the bus and walking 10 hours a day and complains to be that she is in pain.
